It's almost pointless to post in any Star Citizen thread at this point, but as I was watching this video, I kept thinking: "man, these human animations are terrible, but I bet they could make an ok flight-sim instead, if they put their minds to it."

Cabin in the Woods could have been great, but the ending, and a few scenes near the ending, killed it for me.

Why, oh why, would you include a giant red button that released all the unkillable supernatural horrors into the same area your personnel are in? *EDIT* I disagree with the video's take on the button, but I can see his logic.

Why oh why would they not kill themselves at the end to prevent the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH, when that was going to result in their immediate death anyway? Either you die, or all humans die? Not much of a choice there for the majority of any species.

Installed the demo, I've been playing for roughly 20 minutes. Reminds me of classic Resident Evil games, in terms of purposely crappy controls so far. Nice level design though, some nice scripted events, definitely a normal human character so far in terms of abilities. The widescreen bars are pretty annoying.

I'll finish the demo and get a better picture, but I think I'm sold on this game the next time there is a sale.

Second hand opinion of VoEC is that it can be pretty short, if you rush through the puzzles, etc. Under 5 hours, according to some complaints on the steam forums. That necessarily isn't a deal breaker for me at least, I just might wait for a bigger sale discount.

Wow, interesting, but I wonder if they'd bring out a character that big in the tv show? Of course they did bring Mockingbird into the show, so who knows. I am leaning towards some sort of Kree or other offplanet species, especially since it all stems from that blue corpse from the first season.

Bottom line, from now until May 2015, must...avoid...all Avengers spoilers!

The fascination with ruining a movie for yourself months before it even comes out continues to amaze me... everywhere I look there are special looks, trailers, behind the scenes, etc. etc.

SHOW US NOTHING!

ps. If you are correct, and we get a Black Bolt appearance in the tv show, they had damn well get the correct actor for the role. Considering Black Bolt will have zero dialogue this shouldn't be too hard though.

That woman looks like she took a pretty good shot from the metal bar at the bottom of the gate, hard to tell if it was to the chest/arm or straight to the face though. Definitely unpleasant, but probably not too serious as she's walking around shortly after.

I hope the driver was extremely drunk or high... the only way to explain how stupid this entire event was.

PS. for people who don't seem to know, Colbert is on comedy network. His show is satire. Although he interviews real people, he interviews them as his right wing character almost exclusively(I think he's done what, 2 as himself?). You might as well get mad at an article from the Onion.

One thing that's not evident from Amazon's photos is that the throttle and stick separate into two separate units if you want them further apart. I haven't gotten E:D yet, but Halfelf has, and he just got one of these sticks, so you might want to check with him.

Hrm thanks, that doesn't even seem too crazy, price wise, at 45 bucks. Although I thought all the good HoTaS setups were like $200 ?
